...Harvard. No one seems to care—but why should they? The viewers at home would much rather watch Hollywood-produced orgies of vainglorious athletic competition with tighter scripts, deeper characters, and bigger explosions than half-hearted coverage of the Olympics. In all seriousness, it is quite sad how perverted the Games have become. Baron Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympics, originally envisioned that athletes would recognize that it was most important “not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph...

Lawrence Summers brought a vision to Harvard that put it in a position to continue to set the benchmark for American universities into the 21st century. Among Summers’ major accomplishments, he advocated the recruitment of disadvantaged, lower-income students, leading the Ivy League and other elite universities to slash expected parental contributions and make up the difference in scholarships and grants, an initiative I have seen succeed first-hand as an alumni interviewer for Harvard.
